        Assuming you have a Jamfile for building your documentation that looks something
        like:
      </p>
<pre class="programlisting">boostbook standalone
    :
        mylibrary
    :
        # build requirements go here:
    ;
</pre>
<p>
        Then add the line:
      </p>
<pre class="programlisting">using auto-index ; </pre>
<p>
        to the start of the Jamfile, and then add whatever auto-index options you
        want to the <span class="emphasis"><em>build requirements section</em></span>, for example:
      </p>
<pre class="programlisting">boostbook standalone
    :
        mylibrary
    :
        # Build requirements go here:

        # &lt;auto-index&gt;on (or off) one turns on (or off) indexing:
        &lt;auto-index&gt;on

        # Turns on (or off) auto-index-verbose for diagnostic info.
        # This is highly recommended until you have got all the many details correct!
        &lt;auto-index-verbose&gt;on

        # Choose the indexing method (separately for html and PDF) - see manual.
        # Choose indexing method for PDFs:
        &lt;format&gt;pdf:&lt;auto-index-internal&gt;off

        # Choose indexing method for html:
        &lt;format&gt;html:&lt;auto-index-internal&gt;on

        # Set the name of the script file to use (index.idx is popular):
        &lt;auto-index-script&gt;index.idx
        # Commands in the script file should all use RELATIVE PATHS
        # otherwise the script will not be portable to other machines.
        # Relative paths are normally taken as relative to the location
        # of the script file, but we can add a prefix to all
        # those relative paths using the &lt;auto-index-prefix&gt; feature.
        # The path specified by &lt;auto-index-prefix&gt; may be either relative or
        # absolute, for example the following will get us up to the boost root
        # directory for most Boost libraries:
        &lt;auto-index-prefix&gt;../../..

        # Tell Quickbook that it should enable indexing.
        &lt;quickbook-define&gt;enable_index ;

    ;

          If you upgrade compiler version, for example MSVC from 9 to 10, then you
          may need to rebuild Autoindex to avoid what Microsoft call a 'side-by-side'
          error. And make sure that the autoindex.exe version you are using is the
          new one.
